Rachel Howard @ Simon Lee Gallery

You Have a New Memory, Rachel Howard’s inaugural exhibition brings together a new body of work that continues Howard’s pursuit of the possibilities of painting through experimentation.

For the past 25 years, Howard explored and challenged the capacities of paint, creating works that grapple with notions of uncertainty, fragility, beauty, and pain. Revelling in the sheer joy of her chosen material, her intensely physical approach to painting encourages tensions to play out between control and chaos, order and entropy, making and unmaking, beauty and destruction.

In this exhibition Howard returns to colour with zeal, presenting paintings that endeavour to express the instability of life, the absurd, along with fantasies of an unknowable future
